June 2025: Security-focused default optimization in DocumentDB. Implemented and merged a change in microsoft/documentdb that sets use_local_host to false by default in setup.rs, preventing automatic localhost usage and reducing unintended local connections. This change strengthens the security boundary between development and production, lowers exposure risk, and aligns with best practices for secure defaults. The update was committed in 3f8294a36a41385c60bef7470f2f3988e523ad11 and merged via PR 1689621. The change is localized to default behavior and does not alter explicit localhost usage in workflows.
